Rooster Teeth Reveals Complete Schedule for RTX at Home Animation Festival
This July, fans of Rooster Teeth will be able to participate in RTX at Home. The festival will run for about a week with various panels and events planned for fans of various properties to enjoy. The event will run from July 8-17 and will be streamed live on RoosterTeeth.com and the Rooster Teeth apps.
Rooster Teeth recently revealed the list of panels that will be part of the Animation Festival portion of the convention. I am mostly excited for the RWBY panels, but there’s also some other cool stuff like a WEBTOON panel talking about bringing webcomics to life and the virtual cosplay contest is sure to be amazing. You can find the full schedule below. Tickets for RTX at Home Animation Festival are available now (panels will be made available to the general public for free) for Rooster Teeth FIRST members and will open to the general public at 11 AM CT on May 29. In addition, you can purchase Meet & Greet tickets to get 2 minutes of 1-on-1 video chat with your favorite Rooster Teeth personality.
